Uploading and Previewing Video Assets

Adobe Experience Manager Assets generates previews for video assets with the extension .mp4. If the format of the asset is not mp4, install the FFmpeg pack to generate a preview. See FFmpeg installation instructions. FFmpeg creates video renditions of type ogg and mp4. You can preview these renditions in the Adobe Experience Manager Assets user interface.

In the Digital Assets folder (or sub-folders), navigate to the location where you want to add digital assets.

To upload the asset, click or tap Create from the toolbar and then choose Files. Alternatively, drop it directly in the assets area. See Uploading assets for details around the upload operation.

To preview a video in the Card view, click the Play button on the video asset.

You can pause or play video in the Card view only. The Play/Pause button is not available in the list view.

Click or tap the Edit icon on the card to preview the video in the asset details page.

The video plays in the native video player of the browser. You can play, pause, control the volume, and zoom the video to full screen.

Configuration to upload video assets that are larger than 2 GB

By default, the AEM Assets Touch UI does not let you upload any assets that are larger than 2 GB because of a file size limit. However, you can overwrite this limit by going into CRXDE Lite and creating a node under the /apps directory. The node must have the same node name, directory structure, and comparable node properties of order.

Note: The AEM Classic user interface does not have a 2 GB file size limit restriction. Also, end-to-end workflow for large video is not fully supported.

Perform the following steps to configure a higher file size limit (for example 30GB ) in the /apps directory:

In AEM, tap Tools > General > CRXDE Lite.

In the CRXDE Lite page, in the directory window on the left, navigate to /jcr_root/apps/dam.

You may need to touch the >> icon to see the directory window.

In the /jcr_root/apps/dam folder, use the Create drop-down list to create a node with the following directory structure:/gui/content/assets/_jcr_content/body/assetscontent/header/items/items/fileupload
